With Urban League of Portland’s New CEO Nkenge Harmon Johnson.
The State of Black Oregon tells the story of Black Oregonians through the lens of childhood and youth, adulthood and community, using data, analysis and storytelling. Published recently by the Urban League of Portland, the report is the result of a two-year program of research, to provide an updated look at how Black Oregonians are doing – in schools, jobs, and both urban and rural communities throughout the state. Among the findings are that the disparities highlighted 5 years ago in the first State of Black Oregon report: unemployment, health, education achievement, housing instability, and the wealth gap have persisted or gotten worse.
